Recently arrived family lacks necessities
Wednesday, November 29, 2006
Doug, Joseph and Kathy are siblings who just moved here without any belongings. Their dad, Robbie, is looking for a job but finding it difficult to find one without a high school diploma. Their mom stays at home to care for Doug, 11, who is disabled. Without a phone, Robbie came down to the Southeast Missourian office to fill out an application and be interviewed since he could not otherwise be reached. He cares a lot about his children and fears they will not have a Christmas without your help.
